What is a Gateman / Banksman?
A Gateman or Banksman plays a vital role in managing the flow of vehicles and machinery on active sites. Their core responsibilities include:
-
Safely directing vehicles, plant, and equipment
-
Managing key access points and verifying authorised entry
-
Communicating with drivers to prevent collisions or obstructions
-
Maintaining compliance with all site safety rules and regulations
With their presence, the risk of accidents is significantly reduced, ensuring a safer working environment for everyone on-site.
